II. Background
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled,
``Safeguards on Nuclear Material, Implementation of US/IAEA
Agreement.'' The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on December 12, 2025, 90 FR
57791.
1. The title of the information collection: Safeguards on Nuclear
Material, Implementation of US/IAEA Agreement.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0055.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Selected
licensees are required to provide reports of nuclear material inventory
and flow for selected facilities under the US/IAEA Safeguards
Agreement, permit inspections by International Atomic Energy Agency
Agreement (IAEA) inspectors, complementary access of IAEA inspectors
under the Additional Protocol, give immediate notice to the NRC in
specified situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear
material, and give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts
of nuclear material. Reporting is done when specified events occur.
Recordkeeping for nuclear material accounting and control information
is done in accordance with specific instructions.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Licensees required to
report information required by the U.S. Additional Protocol. Licensed
holders of nuclear material located outside of
[[Page 22178]]
facilities in the U.S. Caribbean Territories.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 23 (12 reporting
responses plus 11 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 11.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 4,026.
10. Abstract: Part 75 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, ``Safeguards on Nuclear Material--Implementation of
Safeguards Agreements Between the United States and the International
Atomic Energy Agency,'' requires selected licensees to provide reports
of nuclear material inventory and flow for selected facilities under
the US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement, permit inspections by IAEA
inspectors, complementary access of IAEA inspectors under the
Additional Protocol, give immediate notice to the NRC in specified
situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear material, and
give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts of nuclear
material. In addition, this collection is being renewed to include
approximately six entities subject to the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean
Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366). These licensees will
provide reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for entities
under the U.S.-IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement
(INFCIRC/366), permit inspections by IAEA inspectors, give immediate
notice to the NRC in specified situations involving the possibility of
loss of nuclear material, and give notice for imports and exports of
specified amounts of nuclear material. These licensees will also follow
written material accounting and control procedures, although actual
reporting of transfer and material balance records to the IAEA will be
done through the U.S. State system (Nuclear Materials Management and
Safeguards System, collected under OMB clearance numbers 3150-0003,
3150-0004, 3150-0057, and 3150-0058). The NRC needs this information to
implement its responsibilities under the US/IAEA agreement.
